Max Sargent - Journalist and Psychonaut

Max has been writing for over a decade, and has come into cannabis and psychedelic journalism in the last few years. Writing for companies such as Zamnesia, Royal Queen Seeds, Cannaconnection, Gorilla Seeds, MushMagic and more, he has experience in a broad spectrum of the industry.

Particularly, he has an interest in hallucinogens, and what they can tell us about the mind and its place in the wider universe. At university, he studied BA (Hons) Politics and Philosophy, specialising in philosophy of mind and metaphysics – these allowed him to delve further into this world and to learn formal, logical argument and develop research skills. Consequently, he seeks to present arguments that are clear, compelling and grounded in evidence, rather than assertion. Though he believes that drugs are, on the whole, a force for good, he also takes the need to treat them with respect seriously, and the need to be cautious in advice surrounding them. Besides writing about psychoactive drugs, Max also writes fiction, poetry and makes music. Consequently, not only does the subject matter appeal to him but so does the way it is written and the way it is presented. Whatever is being written about – be it fiction, cannabis or politics – he believes that readers deserve to be met with well thought out, compassionate work which ultimately seeks to expand the knowledge of all.
